Chapter 2693: Investigation

The death realm.

Fang Heng’s retina flashed with game prompts as they quickly updated.

[Hint: The War Knights you recruited, controlling the Bone Dragon, have killed several members of the Holy Court’s Temple Knight Legion. You have earned 7,200 undead battlefield contribution points…]

Done!

At the start of the battle, without the Bone Dragon Knights, things were a bit unstable. However, once the second batch of Bone Dragon Knights joined the fray, the tide of the battle changed instantly.

Fang Heng glanced at the message on the stone slab from the undead council and frowned.

This was a bit troublesome.

Staying in the death realm, he couldn’t control the Dark Clan mercenaries as he did with his zombie clones. He could only rely on the undead council to get updates about his team.

In case of emergencies, he wouldn’t be able to control things on the spot.

Never mind, let the chase continue. He was all in now!

As the death realm contribution points accumulated, the number of Dark Clan War Knights and mausoleum guards recruited would only increase!

Fang Heng turned to Teacher Gu Luo, who nodded.

“The Bone Dragons are strong, but the Holy Realm won’t give up easily. The crisis won’t be resolved quickly. We’ve already started constructing a teleportation passage in Dark City. There are plenty of resources there, but it will take time. We expect the construction to take twelve hours…”

“Alright.”

Fang Heng then turned to Kotal.

Kotal said, “Our Dark Clan battlefield commanders are all elite, hand-picked warriors. They make their judgments, and if they believe continuing the chase won’t yield better results, they’ll choose to retreat and return.”

“No, Kotal, that’s not what I meant,” Fang Heng gently shook his head and continued, “What I meant is, you should be able to open multiple teleportation passages at the same time, right?”

Kotal raised an eyebrow, looking at Fang Heng with a hint of confusion.

“Yes, the teleportation passages can indeed be opened simultaneously, but it would consume a significant amount of energy. Are you sure you want to proceed with this, Fang Heng?”

“Of course, start preparing,” Fang Heng replied, then turned to Teacher Gu Luo, asking with a touch of respect, “What do you think, Teacher Gu Luo?”

Teacher Gu Luo looked at Fang Heng, nodded with deep understanding, and a look of admiration appeared on his face.

Multiple points of attack.

If they focused their attack on a single game world, the Holy Court would be able to counterattack with targeted reinforcement squads, continuously launching support to assault the Black Rain World, thereby interfering with the delivery of materials to the death realm.

However, if they adopted a strategy of multi-point attacks, sending Bone Dragons to disrupt various worlds, the Holy Court would be forced to divide its attention, inevitably becoming more vulnerable.

The undead faction only needed to establish teleportation passages at any of the Dark Clan locations to fully ensure the delivery of materials, thus gaining the initiative.

“Alright, I’ll send people to prepare immediately.”

Kotal promptly called upon his subordinates to prepare five Dark Clan teleportation passages. High-tier Dark Clan War Knights gathered at the entrances, ready to be dispatched under Kotal’s command into various worlds.

At that moment, the Holy Court forces in the Black Rain World were scrambling to flee under the relentless pursuit of the Bone Dragon and Dark Clan War Knights.

As the order to retreat was given, Judgmenter Jorrit had already sent out a distress signal to the Holy Realm.

While there was some intention to lure the enemy deeper, they had failed—miserably. They were being relentlessly pursued and slaughtered by the undead’s Bone Dragon team.

Jorrit was deeply frustrated.

He had never imagined that the undead would push them to such an extent.

Here they come!

As violent ripples appeared in the sky, beams of Holy Light pierced through the dark clouds.

The Holy Realm’s special ability—Descent!

With the blinding holy light, a large number of Holy Realm Temple Knight Legions and Holy Realm priest teams descended onto the battlefield.

The Holy Court reinforcements immediately sensed the overwhelming presence of the Bone Dragon.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

The Holy Prayers launched in a concentrated barrage towards the Bone Dragon, and the sudden bombardment caused some damage to the Bone Dragon.

Seeing the Holy Court reinforcements arriving in large numbers ahead, the Dark Clan Knight Legion recognized the growing disparity in numbers and immediately halted their warhorses.

“Retreat!”

After some consideration, the commander of the Knight Legion recruited by Fang Heng also issued the order to retreat, leading the Bone Dragons and the rest of the undead forces back towards the Dark Clan’s territory.

The newly arrived Holy Court reinforcements quickly merged with Jorrit’s team.

“What happened? We heard that the undead Bone Dragon legion had joined the battlefield?” asked Senofen, a Judgmenter who had come to assist Jorrit, his eyes flashing with wariness as he looked at the retreating Bone Dragon squad led by Fang Heng. “Was it because of Fang Heng?”

“I’m not sure. We haven’t found any signs of Fang Heng or the Lickers,” Jorrit replied, shaking his head. “But I suspect it all ties back to Dark City. The undead must have something going on there that we haven’t uncovered yet.”

Regional Bishop Everett bowed to the two of them, saying, “Sirs, we should act quickly. The longer we delay, the more unfavorable it becomes for us.”

Senofen nodded in agreement, his expression turning serious as he replied, “Yes, when I came to reinforce, the Great Sage ordered me to tell you all: no matter the cost, we must completely destroy Dark City.”

“Understood. Let’s go. We’re heading for Dark City now!”

The Holy Court quickly treated the wounded and reassembled their forces, setting off again towards Dark City, ready to launch another attack.

By the time they returned to the outskirts of Dark City, the third and fourth reinforcements sent by Fang Heng had already arrived.

This time, the reinforcements were the mausoleum guards from the death realm, better suited for defensive operations.

The mausoleum guards had ranged attacks and could spread an aura of death, excelling at utilizing the city walls for defense during long-range combat.

Below the city walls, a group of death realm War Knights had also gathered.

Seeing this, Regional Bishop Everett was momentarily stunned.

How long had it been?

After a long period of absence, the defensive capabilities of Dark City had greatly improved, now displaying a tight defense formation that seemed prepared for a last stand.

The players on the city wall anxiously watched the Holy Court team below, their hearts filled with unease.

The strength of the Holy Court was terrifying. It seemed like they could continuously summon reinforcements from the Holy Realm through their Descent ability, almost without limit.

Could they really hold out?

Outside the city wall, the Judgmenters of the Holy Realm were carefully observing the defending forces atop the wall.

This didn’t look good.

What were those undead creatures they had never seen before?

The aura of death radiating from them made the Holy Realm team extremely wary.

“Do any of you recognize those creatures?”

Everyone shook their heads.

Regional Bishop Everett spoke up, “I’ve heard rumors that the undead faction has been investigating the death realm. Based on my personal guess, these legions are probably composed of creatures from the death realm, and they have been controlled by the undead council to join the battlefield. We have very little information about the creatures from the death realm, so everyone must be extra cautious.”
